In our circle of esteemed shooters, we sometimes call our cameras "guns." Back in the day, these two street soldiers were soldiers of a different type; with different guns. Veteran photographers Ernie Paniccioli and Joe Conzo served their country before visually serving Hip-Hop culture. On Veteran's Day, let us remember those who served their country and their culture.
